Nobody should even be suggesting things like this. This is a PEACEFUL, LAWFUL movement. Please, please don't.

This sounds like the sequel to fight club.

There's literally thousands of people who are capable. But it's amazing how very few ever actually commit crimes.

Sadly, I don't think there is a hacker out there that can do it, or do it and not get caught.

Credit does not keep people poor. While living well below the poverty line, I managed to form an excellent credit rating. I was also able to put myself through college and earn a degree in Chemical Engineering.

I believe that people want to find something or someone other than themselves to blame for their own short-comings. Some failures within your life are caused by your own actions.

Religion fills the gap ... funny thing about the Protestant work ethic, Weber wrote about it -- absence of spirituality, belief in hard work (Jesus is coming look busy), Weber's "Iron Cage."

May I sugest "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George S. Clason? It's a simple little 144 page paperback. I've read it several times just to help it stick.

The problem is no such thing exists.

Why don't you little shits want to pay back the money you borrowed?

[-] 2 points by nichole (525) 13 years ago

Because the costs that exceeded inflationary rates are unjustifiable. Us "little shits" wanted to be better. Us "little shits" could contribute much more if we were not saddled with debt. Us "little shits" don't want to go corporate.

Guess what, shouldn't have borrowed the money. My god, you kids have been done such a disservice by the educational establishment of the last 40 years. Parents too, how did it ever become OK to decide not to pay your bills and not even know it's wrong?

[-] 1 points by GODFATHERRNC (9) from Manitou Springs, CO 13 years ago

I pay I bills each payday my money is gone to bills I am not one that agent out and got a car I could not afford I did payments to a friend for a old car that ran I do not have a house I can not afford i have a small apparment that I make work for me and my family bit the rates you are charged on small amounts of credit when you make next to nothing is hard to make work my bills come from the things it was borrow or tell the kids we don't eat tonight borrow or tell the kids well you don't need anything to where for school borrow or tell the kids the homeless shelter is nice this time of year and i know i am not the only person that is useing credit as resposible as possible for what they have that is just stuck

I recall President Bush telling us not to be afraid to go out and spend after 9/11. Thought we was being good 'merikans.

[-] 0 points by foreverleft (233) 13 years ago

So you go out and borrow a hundred grand because you were told to? What an idiot. For future reference, never borrow money you have no clear path to pay back. It will fuck up your life.

[-] 1 points by nichole (525) 13 years ago

told that was the only path. hasn't necessarily fucked up my life, though i question the indentured servitude into which i signed. don't regret the education. thinking i could do more with it if only i would not have to chase dollars. you talk like tuition fees are set in stone, something to not be questioned, yet they outpace inflation 2X. it doesn't pay to have a mind here, that's for sure. i wear glasses, i am afraid in this climate.

[-] 0 points by foreverleft (233) 13 years ago

Well, I'd say you got fucked on your English classes.

[-] 1 points by nichole (525) 13 years ago

no, liked them best. didn't say i got fucked, just overcharged.

Solicitation of hacking is a crime. If you borrow money then you have to pay it back. So simple a liberal can figure it out when it calms down.
